Package Packin' Penguin!

Howdy High Hopes Fans!

I know, I know....... It's July not December LOL. But over on the High Hopes Blog, we are celebrating Christmas in July! One of my favourite Christmas images are those with Penguins. My Grandma loved Penguins and every time I see one I think of her and it brings a warm smile to my face!

I used the HH "Package Packin' Penguin" and made a card with a matching gift tag.

I chose papers from the Bazill Basics Paper "Countdown To Christmas" 6x6 paper pad. I love 6x6 pads as the design is smaller and more suited to card making! The sentiment in the corner is called "Have An Ice Day" and I popped it up with some foam squares. A bit of sheer black ribbon and Crystal Stickles on the penguin's hat and bow finished off my card.

The coordinating tag is made from a MFT Stitched Tag die-namics and I layered behind it with matching cardstock. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Dot Warm Winter Wishes".

To add an icey feel to the sentiment I also added Crystal Stickles to it.

You get an idea of the image and sentiment popped up with foam squares from a side view.

On the inside is the HH sentiment called "Glow of Christmas".

Penguin: C1, C6, C8, C10 / YR14, YR16, YR18

Berry Sweet!

Hello Everyone!

Today I want to share with you a card I designed for the Tiddy Inks Design Team call. There are so many talented gals entering I almost decided against it! But I decided to throw my hat in the ring and see what happens! Tiddly Inks has so many gorgeous and cute stamps to choose from. I have a few in my stash but I was inspired by my Strawberry picking day last week. 

I decided to use the "Wryn Berry Sweet" digital stamp for this card. I mean it doesn't get any cuter than Wryn! 

I've had this paper from the Wild Rose Studios Strawberry Picnic for quite awhile and as soon as I chose Wryn, I knew that these would be the perfect papers to use! I printed the digital image out on some Copic XPress-It paper and then coloured Wryn to match with the papers using Copics Sketch markers. Using the My Favourite Things Zig Zag Stitched ovals, I cut around my image. All the Designer papers are layered with coordinating cardstock. A cute blue gingham ribbon, bow and some fussy cut out berries from the "Wryn Berry Sweet" set finished off my card.

I love using foam squares or foam tape to pop up parts of my card for added dimension!

On the inside I added another berry and some of the coordinating papers for added interest. I used the Your Next Stamp Fancy Thanks Die to make this into a thank you card!

I love the script on the strawberry!

Hair: YR21, YR23, YR24, E99

A Treat From Me To You!

Hello Ai Fans!
Todays card is such a super cool idea from Art Impressions! It's called the "Coffee Keeper" and is from the Ai Card Keepers Line!

What you do is stamp the different elements to the cup on various papers and then after fussy cutting the images out, assemble them altogether to make this adorable cup. The set comes with full instructions and is super easy to use!

When you lift up the flap it exposes your "gift"! Super cute and will make anyone smile for sure!

You get to personalize the "cup protector" by checking off what boxes you want.

For the inside I just made a sentiment on my computer.

Happy Stamping!
